A HUMANE END to VILE DEMOCRACY:

I will never support the Institution of Voting. Some would have the tenacity to say that if I do not vote my voice won’t matter. The reality of it is this: that my voice MATTERS, so I won’t have it drowned out in a mob of brainless zombies.

I love my fate, but I cannot condone it in good faith. All my life I have been outvoted, and I’ve watched the people who spited me fail. Sometimes, even Death would result. And I would be blamed as the dissenter, even AFTER my Power was stolen from me by a crowd of parasites.

It has all so occurred to me that the most Parasitic of this Lot tend to be the ones who lead the pack. They PRETEND to represent the Group, but in fact they simply ENABLE the Group and REPRESENT themselves. They achieve this only by ENABLING the individual MEMBERS of that group to surrender their conscience and accountability, asserting their self-interest over an oppressed Minority, hiding their OWN Minority and Individuality in the brainless mass. Sometimes, the “Group” that forms – otherwise known as a Mob – engages in a meaningless and seemingly endless war with an other Group. Overall, this habit is referred to as “voting”. It is a fluke of evolution, arising out of the tribal midbrain and bypassing the Rational Neo Cortex.

An empath can never condone this practice, except where a Unanimous Vote is necessary for action to be implemented. Any thing less would be Animalistic Behaviour under the mere GUISE of Civility. The condition of being outvoted is unbearable when one is IN THE RIGHT, and the entire Institution of INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS is meant to PRESERVE the POWER of the Elite Minority that seems invariably to arise in the midst of any barbaric Group.

The evil is aggravated by the sheer number of the majority, which draws its power NOT from Reason or Empathy but from its very SOURCE of evil: the number. Let this not be mistaken for a tautology. It is simply an irony. There is nothing here to be “proven” that is not all ready self-evident to any one who has suffered marginalization and forceful oppression by a Group.

It is not uncommon for Voters (as a Personality Type, in the same fashion as Sadism or Borderline are Personality Types) to make reference to some Scapegoat. If it is not a perceived minority, such as the Jews, it is an even smaller one, at times even an Individual, such as Adolf Hitler. By projecting Evil upon ONE man, every Voter dispossesses himself of his OWN PERSONAL evil. An individual may harbour individual shortcomings, such as malice or cruelty, but unfortunately he may be UNAWARE of them because, as a member of the GROUP, he is UNAWARE OF HIS OWN INDIVIDUALITY. So he can never take RESPONSIBILITY for his own shortcomings, and if he cannot join in others in condemning the Average Kike or Nigger, for instance, then he must one-up the Average Bigot by condemning an even GREATER Bigot: Adolf Hitler.

The irony is that Hitler pedestalized the Jews as much as he was himself put on a pedestal. Nazism runs on the notion that there is ALL READY AN ELITE MINORITY IN PLACE (such as the Jewish Bankers) but that this is somehow A BAD THING. So the People, led by an Everyman who KNOWS that he can lead a Majority, get together, and what do they do? THEY VOTE. And once the Man of the People (in this case: Hitler.) is voted into Office, he can use whatever means are necessary to SERVE THE PEOPLE. Only that is at the EXPENSE of a MINORITY who is now no longer COUNTED AS People. And while I ardently reserve the right to depersonalize any one that I choose, based on due cause, I will never defend the rights of a MOB to do so. A Mob has no rights. There is no “society”; there is only the Individual. What the PEOPLE WANT is invariably the projection of the Individual Psyche longing for Solidarity that DOES NOT EXIST, because it is founded upon self-interest and malice. What other name but MALICE can be ascribed to the man who claims that the Better Society has More Happy People, and fewer Unhappy Ones? After all: the smaller the out-group that suffers, the greater the suffering. The Disgruntled Minority, when dispossessed of being the Elite Minority, is either exterminated or forced into a sort of prison where in they* are made to LOOK NORMAL so as to appease the Public and SUPPRESSED so as not to threaten the Collective Happiness. But it is needless to say that an EMPATH could never condone this, for Every Human Life Matters, regardless of whether one prefers to be Happy or Miserable. And if Misery loves Company, it is every bit as Social an Emotion as Happiness. If not even more so.

*Although “Minority” is singular, the members of this out-group are Plural, because they remain Individuals, and an “out-group” of this sort is all so a sort of “ungroup”.

Extraverted critics of Hitler, including the most Brilliant and Inspired, often make the same mistakes in analyzing his ascent to Power. They pretend, for instance, that Democracy has something “built into it” like a Computer Bug: (a certain Public Speaking professor I knew, who all so happened to be a programmer, used this analogy, albeit by allusion that I had to trace back to his techie roots by inference) that when the People do not Want Democracy, it fails. This is based on the presupposition, rightfully, that Democracy relies on What the People Want, even though this is of course Pure Abstraction, because only a highly gifted Psychic could speak for EVERY PERSON. (And this Psychic would have immediately to be put in Office, if not Upon the Throne, for he would draw his power from God and would be incorrigible so long as he is Powerful.  But this is simply archaic speculation.) The TRULY unpardonable Error, however, that any introverted troubleshooter would find in this particular line of code is this: that Democracy is somehow an END IN AND OF ITSELF. Six million Jews ostensibly die, but what makes their death a tragedy instead of a statistic, as Stalin would have put it? (mind you: Stalin was all so NOTORIOUSLY Extraverted; he even obligated his officers to play cards with him, under pain of Death.) The extravert does not, at least at this point, look at the Life of Every Individual Semite, Cripple and Romani, but rather at the sheer NUMBER of the deaths, which suggests that Society, which was supposed to provide the Greatest Good for the Greatest Number (Hitler’s Common Good) CLEARLY has failed, GIVEN THE STATISTICS. But why is this statistic not negligible, as it would be to Joseph Stalin? It is because we have a SCAPEGOAT: SOMEONE UPSET THE GODS. And it was Adolf Hitler, a lone German “psychopath” who SOMEHOW found the “bug” in Democracy. DEMOCRACY was our Lord and Saviour, but HITLER was the Anti-Christ who SOMEHOW MIRACULOUSLY turned the entire German Population into Jew-haters and LIED to them so he might KILL them. For what? Who knows. But he “slept like a baby”, knowing he had done What Was Right. And now WE know better…

This is of course a farce, but it is not exaggerated by any great margin. People blame Nietzsche, as well, an individualist and iconoclast who PRECEDES THE NAZIS. How do they manage to call NIETZSCHE a Nazi? Aside from Camus’ speculation on the topic, which was very soon after the War and prior to the Frenchman’s Untimely Death, (Long before he reached Socrates’ Age of Wisdom.) there is the desire to BLAME SOMEONE. Any one who knows any thing about German History knows that the Nazis were such insufferable parasites that they wanted to take total credit not ONLY for the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, but all so Hegel, Wagner, Goethe, and every great Genius who HAPPENED to be German. (To the Ignorant Exclusion of all Foreign Styles, even the Extreme Zen Sophistication of their Allies in the Far East.) Why was Nietzsche blamed? Aside from his ostensibly “Fascist” sister, who skewed his later works, apparently, in favour of the Reich, (if any man can find SENSE in the Modern Art Piece that is the Will to Power, much less an Ideology) there is the simple fact that Hitler Liked His Ideas, and Nietzsche died in 1900. He was the closest link, despite his notorious HATRED OF THE GERMAN HERD and LOVE FOR FOREIGN CULTURES (Most notably: the Greeks* and the East**).

*The Birth of Tragedy in the Spirit of Music.

**Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

Neither Nietzsche nor Hitler is reported as ever having personally killed anyone. In fact, Hitler was a Vegetarian. This has since become an Internet Meme to berate Vegetarians. But Vegetarianism is now and has all ways BEEN a private religious austerity. Any thing more done “in the name of” vegetarianism has been hypocritical. Had Hitler slaughtered six million people in the name of cows, he would have been a hypocrite. But he kept his private and his political life notoriously separate. To his credit.

The fact is: HITLER never SLAUGHTERED ANY one. HIS PEOPLE DID. All the damage that Adolf Hitler ever did he did as a MAN OF THE PEOPLE. Nietzsche PREDICTED the Third Reich under the growing THREAT of anti-semitism that was a problem on that entire Peninsula long before Hitler (or even Nietzsche) was borne. He did not PRESCRIBE it; he DESCRIBED it. And Hitler, in taking the Description as a Hopeful Omen, saw it as a chance to do what he most wanted: to Save Germany. And he EVEN took it a step further! He was not only Saving GERMANY. He was saving the German PEOPLE. And by so doing: the World.

Democracy fails not because someone triggers a latent “bug” in its otherwise PRISTINE programming. Democracy is not some sort of Achilles with a Heel. It is SMAUG with a MISSING SCALE.

Democracy does not HAVE a problem. It is not that we fail when DEMOCRACY DOES NOT SUCCEED. DEMOCRACY CANNOT succeed. Democracy is neither a noble end nor a humane means. It is BY ITS VERY NATURE Proto-Fascism. And Fascism is its only LOGICAL conclusion. A Holocaust Prisoner would know that just as well as would an officer of the Reich.

Ironically, of all intellectuals who could have SUMMED THIS UP before we had the OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE for it scientifically (from Jung to Kohlberg, up through contemporary psychiatric claims that people are “intrinsically racist, lazy and stupid”) was Friedrich Nietzsche:

"Vengeance will we use, and insult, against all who are not like us"—thus do the tarantula-hearts pledge themselves.

"And 'Will to Equality'—that itself shall henceforth be the name of virtue; and against all that hath power will we raise an outcry!"

Ye preachers of equality, the tyrant-frenzy of impotence crieth thus in you for "equality": your most secret tyrant-longings disguise themselves thus in virtue-words!

A Leader does not give the People What they Want. A Leader does not act out of what HE wants. And a Leader does not hide what HE wants under the guise of what The People Want, proudly. (Mind you: such leaders tend to be Extraverts. Hitler, the Vegetarian and Martyr of Germany, is customarily typed as an I.N.F.J, alongside Osama bin Laden and Gandhi.) A Leader does What is Right.

It is impossible to Be Right in a Group. Voting is pointless at best (as most cynics seem to believe) and dangerous at worst (as this relatively optimistic writer believes). The very notion of supporting an Appeal to the Populace is itself a Logical Fallacy. And Logic is no alien to Human Emotion. In FACT: the most Subtle and Evolved emotions can only be conveyed to lesser people via ABSTRACTION and REASONING. This comes with the territory for an Empath operating at the top of Kohlberg’s Moral Hierarchy. It may be unteachable (a word that for some suspicious political reason MicroSoft Word does  not recognize. But perhaps that only proves my point about unteachability.). Empaths understand the Universal Plane; SYMPATHY keeps us bound to the Lower Emotions of Greed, Lust, Malice, and the rest of the Sins, Deadly and otherwise Lethal.

If two wrongs do not make a Right, certainly do not a hundred of them, even if the People in the Right (your OTHER Right) are only a dozen. Any multiple of zero is still zero, as is any sum of zeros, and any Absolute Value. And any sum of negative numbers is still negative. Only by taking its Absolute Value can it be Positive, and that would require a total inversion of Right and Wrong. As for multiplication: the calculation would be reduced to Absurdity, for it would only be positive when there is an even number of numbers, and half the time it would be negative unless regularity were enforced. Zero cannot be the common denominator, and unfortunately any game of zero sum produces an Absolute Zero. And as it turns out: the common man is constantly in a Game of Zero Sum. Voting never works. It is, as was described by one philosopher, a “futile addition of zeroes”, motivated by “fear and laziness”. The premise of voting is at its very roots mob-rule. It is mediocrity. Why did we develop it? Because some thing in our early development saw an easy win. If every one is like me, theoretically, and there is a finite number of us, and we vote on every thing, then I will USUALLY win. The nature of a Majority should theoretically GUARANTEE that. If there are five of us, for instance, on an Island, THEORETICALLY each of us should win four out of five times, supposing only ONE man is outvoted each time. If it has to be TWO men that are outvoted, each of us would win three out of five times, and we’d still be MOSTLY happy MOST of the damn time*. But what happens when we vote on what to have for dinner? And since no one took CHARGE of how to gather Food, we have to vote for WHOM to eat for dinner. Now there are four of us. Supposing we vote then. Whereas before this there was a twenty percent chance of dying, now there is a twenty-FIVE percent chance! And then a THIRD! And then what? Well: you might imagine.

*Of course: an Empath, for instance, would never be Happy, except in a state of Unanimity, for love of the Minority.

We imagine the problem to be solved when there is a Larger Mass. But the problem only gets worse. The greater the group, the more oppressive the Potential Majority. On our Island, a man outvoted has to contend with only four other men. If, on the other hand, one were a Jew in Nazi Germany, or an African in Colonial North America, the odds would be by far more terrifying. And rest assured that to the same extent as you are oppressed when you are outvoted, the Man of the People rejoices. This is why even Benjamin Franklin defined democracy as “two wolves and a lamb trying to decide what’s for Dinner.”

I will never compromise my personal integrity for the Will of the People. The People, acting as One, are a Leviathan Beast composed only of self-interest and aggression. Only the Individual can be held responsible. Every inter-human conflict is between one man and an other man. Each man who sends an innocent man to the Gallows is personally responsible, but this guilt is hidden in the Crowd. There are no Decent Groups, and the measure of a Culture is in its Empowerment of the Individual. The conflict is never one of Man versus Group, except where a Mob operates, and may it be clear that this sort of Conflict I neither preclude by what follows nor condone (some, I know, will misread me as saying that there IS no mob but only the Individual can be Blamed for its shortcomings, and nothing could be a more egregious inversion of the values than that misreading). All conflicts are between Good and Evil, and only you can know, in SOLITUDE, what side you are on. Once you have chosen Goodness, Wisdom, and Selflessness, which does not preclude your own Rights to enjoyment of the same, every Vile Mob that promotes Evil, Ignorance, and Greed must be atomized into Individuals who have missed a step.

No one wins in a Democracy. The neat and even probabilities of the aforementioned Island are swiftly skewed in favour of an Oppressor and at the expense of the Oppressed. The Winner keeps on Winning, for only his popularity begins to matter, and he can ape any position and enjoy the recoil. The Truth is effaced, and the Empaths and Intellectuals are the first to be outvoted. This continues as the Mass grows stupid and weak without true Leadership. And all that participate suffer, if not from a loss of Life, then from a Loss of Character. Whatever World follows this one will punish those who, having learned to beat the System in their own favour, have floated, atop a pool of blood, froth, and sentiment, to the top.

Do not vote. Not because it’s pointless. But because it’s Wrong. Your True Voice has no Neighbour.
